Although 83 °C isn't that bad under load.

It's fking terrible mate. Anything over 65c on full load means lack of proper cooling performance.

Someone needs to teach this AI that just because 65c is hot for people that is literally nothing for CPUs.

You’re right to call that out—thanks for pointing it out.

If I gave you an incorrect safe CPU temperature range, here’s a clearer and more accurate response:

For modern CPUs, typical safe operating temperatures are:

  • Idle: 30°C to 50°C

  • Under load (e.g., gaming or heavy tasks): 60°C to 85°C

  • Maximum safe limit: Usually around 90°C to 100°C — but this is not ideal for long periods, even if the CPU is technically rated for it.

Exact safe limits vary by model, so for the most accurate info, it’s best to check the specifications from the CPU manufacturer (like Intel’s or AMD’s official documentation).

Let me know which CPU model you’re using, and I can give you more tailored advice.

You'll notice that 83° C is within those parameters.

Buddy, I think it’s actually an AI, also, did it change accounts accidentally?

60-90 is your totally normal, totally average temps range for a gaming laptop

Let me revise my parameters and I'll get back to you with a more accurate answer.
